Our co-founders Rashid Ali and Pete Maldonado had the incredible opportunity to head to Capitol Hill for the #WalmartDCFlyIn in Washington, D.C. We’re proud to represent a manufactured in the US brand in critical conversations about the future of our industry and building jobs as our business grows together. From connecting with policymakers to engaging in discussions that truly matter, it was a powerful few days of learning and advocacy. A huge thank you to Laura Siegrist for leading such a seamless and impactful event, and to Patrick Delaney, Luke Petermann and Melody Richard for their support navigating the Hill. We're energized by what’s ahead and committed to being a voice for positive change. #ChompsOnTheHill #WalmartDCFlyIn #pantrywithapurpose

To celebrate Employee Health & Fitness Day, Team Chompian reflects on our time at the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Chicago on May 8th. 🥇🏃 This 3.5-mile run/walk brought together thousands of professionals across industries. Beyond the miles, it was about building bonds, creating a shared sense of achievement, and stepping outside the office to foster real team connection. We were proud to show up not only as teammates but also as brand ambassadors—repping Chomps with a tent, sharing our products, and engaging with the broader business community. Events like these are a powerful reminder that wellness, camaraderie, and culture are inextricably linked. Here’s to continuing to prioritize movement, connection, and a whole lot of fun — together 💪

We’re excited to announce Chomps is officially B Corp Certified! What started as a commitment to only using high-quality ingredients in our products has led to a certification that reaffirms those same high standards applied across our business. Our dedication to providing competitive employee benefits, excellent customer service, and an unwavering commitment to our community has contributed to our receiving this certification. Through this certification, Chomps can better track progress, set clear goals, and maintain transparency about where the brand is today and its intentions for the years to come. While we see this as a huge milestone on our path to set a new standard in snacking, it is just the beginning. We are continuously evaluating our processes and working with partners who align with our goal to be a force for good. Learn more: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ef-wJa_M
